Chapter 111: The Roots of Disaster (Part 1)
Wearing a long green bamboo cloth gown that is not at all, a neatly tidy head, and a pair of frameless round glasses on the bridge of his nose. Zuosuke Katsumasa sat upright in the room of the Kikusawa inner hall, reading the newspaper in his hand carefully.&1t;/p>
On the small coffee table next to Zuosuke Katsumasa, newspapers from various newspapers were piled up half an inch thick. From the Peking Times, which had invited special experts to write articles, to those third-rate tabloids that specialize in stories of gods and ghosts, rumors in the city, and newspapers that could be collected in Sijiu City were all piled up on the coffee table next to Zuosuke Katsumasa!&1t;/p>
Next to the newspaper, the blue and white porcelain gold-painted tea cups were soaked in this year's rainy Longjing buds. In the four-inch blue and white porcelain gold-painted small plates on the mahogany pallet, two dried fruits and two snacks were the best goods that could be touched in Sijiu City. Only when ordinary wealthy families came to their homes could they put out such hospitality.&1t;/p>
Looking to the side, there were two German tap water pens on the small coffee table. Just looking at the golden pen hanging on the tap water pen cap, you can understand that these two German tap water pens are not ordinary products, and at the very least, you can exchange them for several pockets of foreign noodles!&1t;/p>
After reading the newspaper in his hand word by word, Zuosuke Katsumasa gently put the newspaper into the pile of newspapers on the coffee table. Then he reached out and pinched a few dried fruits and threw them into his mouth and chewed them slowly. He took the bowl of Rainy Rain, took a sip, and suddenly felt the fragrance of his teeth and cheeks!&1t;/p>
Twenty years ago, Zuosuke Katsumasa could not have dreamed of living like this!&1t;/p>
At that time, Zuosuke Katsumasa was a fisherman in Hokkaido, Japan. The family was guarding a little bit of thin land, a broken boat, and the wind and waves had to go out to fish in the sea. Regardless of the men and women, the family had to take off their leftovers of the bag and tied into the sea. Whether they could go home alive, they had to look at their fate.&1t;/p>
After a year of hard work, I could receive the food from my family, and the dried fish was not enough for the whole family to chew. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family could eat a bite of radish rice, which was a good year. At the age of twelve, Zuosuke Katsumasa had eaten noodles made from soba noodles when he was only seven years old. That was when he went to sea to fish, he happened to catch a pearl and exchange it for money. The whole family went to the city for a walk, and each of them ate a bowl of clear soup soba noodles. It was considered a hot meat!&1t;/p>
When I was twelve years old, the natural disaster of two years finally ruined a poor family. I don’t know who started the family from the village, but every household started carrying the old man who had passed the sixty years out of the house and threw it into the mountains and forests next to the village in the late night!&1t;/p>
According to the village chief, this is already sixty, and I can’t do anything anymore, keeping it will be a waste of food! Since that’s the case, then throw it into the mountains to avoid being upset in front of you!&1t;/p>
After throwing all the elderly people over 60 in the village to death, they went to the bottom, and the people in the village went on a way to ask women from each family to sell themselves!&1t;/p>
In the winter, I made a basin of well water with ice squash, and washed some of the strong fishy smell on the women who were about to sell themselves. Then I touched some clothes that were covered by the box and were asked by the women to wear. The man in charge of the family led his wife and daughter into the county town. He exchanged the meat for the money that had been exchanged for a few jujubes and had not heated it in the woman's arms. The man waiting next to him had already pounced on like a wolf, snatched the scattered silver and entered the izakaya on the street. The family members who were starving to death and not starving to death, don't think about it, and I have to drink it happily before talking about it...&1t;/p>
At this critical moment, some people came from, and they went into the village mysteriously. After staying at the village chief's house and muttering for half a night, the next day, all the children over ten years old in the village gathered in the open space in front of the village chief's house, and those people picked it and took it away. They didn't take it away without a waste - according to the human calculation, one person gave ten yen!&1t;/p>
I can take away a piece of paper from my family and can't do much work, but I can eat a lot of food, and I can still get ten yen from this...&1t;/p>
In those days, the master craftsman in the Osaka Artillery Factory only had a salary of twenty or thirty yen a month!&1t;/p>
When he left the village, Zuosuke Katsumasa did not see his parents' eyes looking at him at all. Instead, he fought for the ten-day yen he had just obtained. The two of them fought in the mud...&1t;/p>
Going towards the days that followed...&1t;/p>
Not only the children in Zuosuke Katsumasa's village, but also hundreds or thousands of children found from all over Japan, gathered in a place where they were unknown.&1t;/p>
The adult who led Zuosuke Katsumasa said that the place was a school, and all these children were students. But as long as there were children who failed in their studies and wanted to run away, they were hung on the high flagpole in the school without exception, and the crows flying all over the sky pecked the living people into dead people, and the dead people into skeletons...&1t;/p>
Every moment, every minute, every second, there are always people talking in their ears - you are the Emperor's loyal servants, everything about you, including your life, is the Emperor! The Emperor asks you to die, you have to rush to die! Even if the Emperor wants you to kill your parents, that is what you deserve!&1t;/p>
After being nagged like this for several years, when Zuosuke Katsumasato bows to the portraits hanging on the wall with the growing children around him, a strange year will always come to his heart inexplicably - can this man who doesn't look energetic, permanently leave from the small village full of cold, poverty, hunger and indifference?&1t;/p>
As long as you can leave the village that makes people feel scared when they think of it, no matter what the person in the portrait asks him to do, he will definitely do it himself!&1t;/p>
Even if you tell yourself to die!&1t;/p>
Even if you die, it would be better than returning to that terrible village...&1t;/p>
As the companions around you grow up, fewer and fewer. From time to time, new faces will join, and from time to time, familiar faces will leave!&1t;/p>
Chatting with each other is strictly prohibited about topics that have nothing to do with their studies, inquire about anyone's private situation, and any form of private interaction is strictly prohibited...&1t;/p>
If someone violates any of these countless "strictly forbidden" items, then the only consequence is to disappear!&1t;/p>
Disappear forever!&1t;/p>
Information has become a compulsory course. You must observe everyone around you at any time, and at the same time beware of any real thoughts you have observed. You will have a routine secret conversation with the instructor once a week and countless private meetings with the instructor at irregular intervals, so that everyone, including Zuosuke Katsumasa, lives in an inexplicable sense of fear and threat!&1t;/p>
Some people were taken away for no reason and never came back. Some people suddenly sat up in their sleep and roared and jumped down from the third floor window! Some people even took the southern pistol that had just arrived in their hands when they were participating in live-fire training with a gloomy face, and shot the last bullet into their heads...&1t;/p>
When Zuonosuke Katsumasa finally graduated from that school and was blindfolded to the streets of Tokyo, Zuonosuke Katsumasa opened a room in a small hotel with a graduation condolence money he had just obtained. After using everything he could find, he slept quietly in that room for twelve hours!&1t;/p>
Quiet, twelve hours that will not be spying on!&1t;/p>
But when Zuosuke Katsumasa reopened the hotel room, the hotel owner who looked smirking handed an envelope to Zuosuke Katsumasa - there was a ticket to North Korea in the envelope, as well as some brand new identity certificates and some money.&1t;/p>
From that moment on, Zuonosuke Katsumasa became Zuonosuke Katsumasa, and he has always been Zuonosuke Katsumasa - the intelligence officer of the Kikumi agency stationed in Seoul Intelligence Station in North Korea!&1t;/p>
After working in Seoul for a few years, Zuo Nobusuke Katsumasa was smooth sailing - those Koreans who were dressed in rags and always had a kind of flattering and smirking on their faces were almost born slaves. They could immediately take themselves to capture the anti-Japanese elements they mentioned!&1t;/p>
Of course, at least 90% of the so-called anti-Japanese elements are just neighbors who have some disputes with the North Koreans who have reported to the news, or some acquaintance who happened to say a few complaints! I can't remember how many times have they been, when Zuosuke Katsumasa just took people to capture the so-called anti-Japanese elements, the whistleblowers standing next to them will pounce on them like wolves, take away all the useful things that have been searched by Zuosuke Katsumasa's men countless times, and then move them back to their home proudly!&1t;/p>
Maybe it was luck or maybe it was destined. After two years of such smooth days, Zuonosuke Katsumasa finally got his fortune in an operation to capture anti-Japanese elements. A real anti-Japanese element led a pistol and killed several colleagues of Zuonosuke Katsumasa when facing arrest, but during the escape, he was broken by Zuonosuke Katsumasa's right leg!&1t;/p>
Immediately afterwards, the intelligence retrieved from the anti-Japanese element whose right leg was interrupted by Zuosuke Katsumasa made the Kikumi-in-Seosuke Katsumasa to wipe out most of the members of the Seosu Anti-Japanese organization. When rewarding merits, the unlucky website manager of the Seosuke Intelligence Station was shot by the anti-Japanese element, and the other senior members were either dead or disabled. Zuosuke Katsumasa naturally became the website manager of the Seosuke Intelligence Station!&1t;/p>
With his accumulated contributions and his gradually proficient Chinese language in the working environment of Seoul, Zuosuke Katsumasa first received an order to go to the Japanese land reclamation group in Northeast China to serve as the leader. Not long after heading to the Northeast China, another order was sent to Zuosuke Katsumasa's hands again - to Beiping to serve as the stationmaster of the intelligence station of the Chrysanthemum in Beiping!&1t;/p>
